Plymouth Vineyard Church

Nigel Hemming talks from Luke 7 and the anointing of Jesus feet at the pharisee’s house, showing how we can often miss out on the sacred when we are scared.

Does our obsession with celebrity creep into church culture? You betcha, just as it did in Corinth. They liked to be impressed by their leaders just as we do. But was Jesus impressive? To most people the cross is folly, but to those being saved it is the power of God.

Introducing 1 Corinthians Arthur observes how Paul calls out their identity in Christ as the foundation for belief and right actions.

Find out how a rule of life can help you structure your habits and grow to be the person you wanted to be.

The daily practice of gratitude will benefit your mental health more than anything, but it also leads to greater spiritual and emotional health too, which is why it is such a core spiritual exercise. Arthur uses scripture and the inspiration of Corrie ten Boom in this apposite teaching on how to be thankful.

We are designed for relational connection - with God and with each other. Arthur challenges us to extend that connection beyond our besties to the community around us, using Jesus as an example. And guess what - we will be happier as a result!

Can you learn to be more happy? Arthur links the research of Dr Laurie Santos with the teachings of Jesus to help you become a Psalm 1 sort of person.

Lessons from the Life of Moses #6 Limits

Being a Christian is as much about the journey as it is the destination. Some would say even more so. Moses teaches us that there is value in the journey, even though it might be more difficult that anticipated, as the Presence of God goes with us.

Arthur explains how Moses' encounter at the burning bush teaches us how to discern calling, and how our primary calling is into relationship with God, from which all else flows.

Moses' journey of redemption was a combination of encounter and healing. Here Arthur explores how he used his time in the wilderness to allow God to heal him and prepare him for what was to come.

Encounter

Where did you come from and does it matter? Using Psalm 139 and the verse from Romans 8:28 (In all circumstances God works for the good of those who love him...) Arthur takes the early life of Moses and draws an important lesson from it for all of us.

10 points drawn from the first 10 chapters of Matthew which can increase your faith, but ultimately we know that faith is a gift from God, and even faith as small as a mustard seed is enough - he will provide the rest.

Arthur shares what he feels God is saying to PVC for 2020, and how the church is both safe and unsafe, for very similar reasons.
